Obsidian 1.9.10 Desktop (Public)

Introducing Bases, a new core plugin that lets you turn any set of notes into a powerful database.
Obsidian's 1.9.10 desktop update adds Bases, a new core plugin that turns any set of notes into a database. Notes can be organised into projects, travel plans, reading lists and more, with custom views to filter by properties and formulas to derive new dynamic properties. All the data stays backed by local Markdown files and YAML properties, and a new .base file format supports it.
The update also adds a Footnotes view core plugin, a sidebar tab for managing footnotes in the current file without losing your place in the note.
There's a breaking change too: support for the tag, alias and cssclass properties has been officially removed in favour of tags, aliases and cssclasses, and their values must now be a list, so any existing text-based property will no longer be recognised. The Format converter core plugin gains an option to fix incorrectly formatted properties and migrate the old ones to the new format automatically.
